  1. Very few condos in Samui. Even rarer, newer ones or apartments. will be even more difficult to find. any vacancies. Also will be expensive at this time of year. It is high season and everything is booked up. I know this because I have spent the last month trying to find a nice modern, apartment for a friend. Everyone is saying the same thing. nothing until end of January. Lots of pent up travel demand after the pandemic lockdowns, many Russians and Ukrainians escaping the war, and a large influx of Indian tourists this year for some reason (exchange rates?) have all contributed to this being one of the busiest high seasons for quite a while. As far as accommodation goes, you might have to lower your sights. If you are flexible, try searching on www.booking.com Best area to live? You want nightlife? Clubs? Quiet? Really quiet? Coral? All dead. So snorkelling a waste of time. You will need to go to the outer Phangan or better Tao. Supermarkets? Three or four: Tops, Big C, Lotus.
  2. On my ones, all the live channels are numbered from 1-xxx. Can easily find past weeks catch up on the channels that have it. Also has a large selection of movies , tv shows, documentaries etc. EPG. All done through a box with remote. No messing about on the computer searching. It's all about convenience I suppose. If people prefer to pay for that convenience rather than searching online for things to stream, that up to them. Each to their own. I also have Kodi. Rarely use it nowadays, but sometimes do
  3. A Drugs Hotline? How many "My neighbour is smoking a joint." calls will they get?
  4. I use, and can recommend the same service. In fact I have two. One from another provider.
  5. You can download one of these apps from the Google Play store to your Android box or device. As for the login details, password and any other information required, you would get them from the IPTV provider once you pay for the service. the provider would likely advise you which app to download.
  6. Just look for a woman walking bow legged. Oh! Wait a minute! It's Pattaya. ????
  7. With 250 million Covid infections in December alone in China according to Sky News, it might be a good idea to impose restrictions. We know from past experience that a negative Covid test isn't a great barrier to stopping the infected coming in.
  8. The authorities have already stated no bivalent vaccines in Thailand until earliest, second quarter 2023. So will only be getting rid of existing stocks of older vaccines.
  9. Here you go. Take your pick: https://www.lazada.co.th/tag/heinz-baked-beans/?spm=a2o4m.home.search.1.11257f6djxOiXM&q=heinz baked beans&_keyori=ss&clickTrackInfo=textId--915708959365637630__abId--321405__Score--0.5725430383254063__pvid--f659fee4-8314-461f-a1e7-842e8d1e250f__matchType--1__matchList--1-2__srcQuery--heinz baked beans__spellQuery--heinz baked beans__ctrScore--0.0__cvrScore--0.0&from=suggest_normal&sugg=heinz baked beans_0_1&catalog_redirect_tag=true
  10. There is a young lad who wrote some software that tracks Elon Musk's private jet, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Drake: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/feb/02/teen-tracking-elon-musk-jet-bill-gates-jeff-bezos-drake-jack-sweeney-tesla-flight-tracker-bot Get him on the case.
  11. Google Thantakit Dental. Or visit https://www.thantakit.com
  12. +1. I often order Heinz Baked Beans and soups, and Haywards Piccallili from them. There is also another shop on there called Brit Shop. The only reason I think the OP can't find his desired foods in Tops or Big C is because of shortages due to logistic problems, bad weather and / or Christmas. Many Brits have arrived in Thailand and have buying up their favourites for the Christmas period. I haven't seen Kallo Chicken stock cubes or Heinz Beans in any supermarket for months. Also haven't seen any cucumbers since November.
  13. If it indeed happens, I expect to see motorbike accidents and deaths go up. Hordes of two up Chinese tourists on scooters who have never ridden in their lives, negotiating Thailand's roads. One shakily driving, while the one on the back gives directions from their mobile phone. Admittedly, some blame goes to the rental shops, but I wonder how easy it is in China to get a Driving Licence without any driving or riding experience.
  14. Receipts don't matter. It's the Blue Book that denotes ownership. If you can't do a deal to get it back, park it outside her house, drain the engine oil, and walk away. Or maybe start running up parking tickets.
  15. I don't keep any funds in Wise. I just set up the transfer on the app or website, (They won't send their money to your account until they get your's.), then transfer from my bank acc to theirs. They send acknowledgement that they have received my money and that they will start their transfer. Of course. If you have one of their multi currency accounts with debit card you can keep money there,
  16. Haven't I see that surname on here before? Was it a young 16 y.o. girl that had a really bad car crash? Added to someone's name to show descended from a royal bloodline.
  17. There was another poster discussing his prostate problems on here and treatment a week or so ago. Maybe search for that. Might help you. Edit: Just had a quick look. I think this was it: https://aseannow.com/topic/1274732-rezum-experience/#comment-17663937
  18. I don't know about outside, but the Novotel Suvarnabhumi Hotel is only about 700 meters away. You might be able to take the shuttle bus there. https://www.novotelairportbkk.com/the-hotel/gallery/
  19. If it makes it more likely to catch a criminal, I don't see that it would cause any prejudice. Male, Caucasian, approx 200lbs, wearing blue jeans and a white t-shirt would be more effective than just male blue jeans and t-shirt. In fact it could prevent wrongful arrest. Far better to give as much information as possible to catch an offender.
  20. +1 for Lazada. I bought a Xiaomi 4. The bigger one. Can't remember which exact model offhand. Filter supposed to last for a year.
  21. Exactly. How does a suspicious looking backpack differ from a normal one. More likely a tip off that he was carrying. The gold plated gun screams drug dealer or mafia. As for the imitation snakeskin jacket. That is an offence in itself! ????
  22. The inevitable pickup truck losing control on a bend. But not his fault. he was trying to avoid another motorbike when he lost control. I read that as trying to overtake a motorbike on a bend. There is a real me, me, me attitude on the roads here. Very little road courtesy.
